Can an EO do this? Wouldn't this be a matter for the legislative branch? (I mean in the old days of myth when people still believed in the tooth fairy and "checks and balances".)

Just about everything Trump has done should have been legislation. They are so scared of him they don't do anything about it.

He said the same thing in 2020, even signed an executive order for "Most Favored Nation" pricing.
It went nowhere.
Pharma sued, prices stayed high.

I'm surprised that I have no recollection of that. Is there any reason to think his current sharpie emits stronger magic than his 2020 version did? Or is this purely smoke to cover his reversal on Chinese tariffs?

I thought exactly the same about it being a distraction from China

Not sure what mechanism can be used to suppress the free market in this way but faced with being forced to sell at, or below, cost price in a highly litigious market, the big pharma companies may elect to withdraw those drugs from sale in the US market.

Big Pharma wants all the benefits with no of the drawbacks - it could just give the patents to the government for the cost of development plus a bonus depending on impact and let it sort out the litigation.

After all, the Trump regime is all about letting the free markets set the prices of everything.

Farquing LOL

Why do the Democrats want to pay top dollar for a new aircraft. Donald got one for free!

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGA

Notice the DoD only get the aircraft 'temporarily'
When his term is over he gets to keep it.
 
How much will it cost to fit it out with the extra's found on Air Force One?
Things like the communications, defensive systems etc. It's not just a standard aircraft with an office and bed room in it.

I don't know that anyone has to follow executive orders, other than government workers.

Correct, and even then it's iffy. Executive orders do not have the force of law, but they nevertheless must be lawful. An order simply directs some office of the executive to carry out the law in a particular fashion. They have no effect to bind any other portion of the government, or the people. They have no direct effect on businesses.

Further, Republicans love to whine about price controls. What are they saying about this?
